Lo que dejamos atrás (What We Left Behind)
Over our heads: A video still showing a children’s bike leaning against a wall in a darkened room. A video is being projected onto the bike showing a close up of a small child’s face. On the bottom of the frame are the words “give your grandma a kiss through the camera.”
Above us: A video still of a dark scene with a barely discernible horizon in the distance. In the bottom right is a small projection of two children leaning against the bars of the United States-Mexico border wall, seen from behind.
Skyward: A video still showing a clothesline with an assortment of clothes hanging outside at night, in the dark. Colorful projections illuminate the garments.
